About

A daily, tactical blend of four trend timers that rotates among 3x tech/S&P bulls, inverse tech, Treasuries, or T‑Bills using moving‑average regimes and an RSI “heat gauge” to ride uptrends, skip blow‑offs, and defend in downtrends.
NutHow it works
Runs 4 parallel timers (SPY 200/150‑day; QQQ 100/50‑day) and averages their picks. Menu: TQQQ (3x Nasdaq), TECL (3x tech), UPRO (3x S&P), SQQQ (3x inverse Nasdaq), TLT (Treasuries), BIL (T‑Bills). RSI = 0–100 heat gauge of recent gains/losses. • If price is above its trend avg → offense: hold TQQQ unless it’s “too hot” (RSI10 on TQQQ>79 or SPXL>80), then park in BIL. • Else → defense: if very weak (RSI low) try quick longs (TECL/UPRO); otherwise pick SQQQ or TLT by 10‑day RSI; sometimes default to TQQQ. Rebalances daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~1.52 vs ~1.16, Calmar ~3.27, and annualized return ~112% vs ~21% for the S&P. Expect higher drawdowns (~34% vs ~19%), but hedged tech exposure with rotation aims for stronger risk-adjusted growth.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
